Outside
To the front of the cottage there is a small self-contained sunny garden with table and chairs for eating out during the summer or enjoying your morning cup of tea!

There is a small back yard leading from the kitchen that has an outdoor tap/hose pipe for cleaning boots, bikes, dogs! etc. You can also use the yard to store small bikes and any other outdoor gear. Up a few steps to the left is a small garden area with bench that catches the morning sun. There you will find a washing line that you are welcome to use. Please note the grass area at the back belongs to the neighbours so, for obvious reasons, we ask that dogs only use the front garden.
